8.6/10 Excellent! (119 reviews)

The check in after hours is not easy. Last service person leaves at 11p (23:00). I had to download an app and process my passports. Not a fun process after walking 30k steps. Other than that no complaints. Great location, nice staff, good size rooms, & clean.

Not too far away from the train station, like 5-7min walk. A few 7-11 and family mart down the hotel. Brand new hotel and everything is clean.

If you're going to see a geisha just pay the money for a private show and don't be that tourist who is chasing them down the street for a photograph.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Foreigners receive an automatic discounted rate and it is a great orientation to the culture and history. Google maps takes you essentially to the back door of the place and it is confusing. It is a large white brick building you can see from where Google maps takes you, but you have to go around the block to get in.

3/5 - Okay

Emily

Explore the area around Gion Corner. Go up and down the side and main street that it's on. You'll really get the feel of old Kyoto.

4/5 - Good

I assume this is a reference to the Gion District. A must. Large and well preserved district. Go at dusk when it is at its most atmospheric. Geisha sightings possible but please do stick cameras in their faces. Admire but do not pester.
